Thanks for the information. I suppose I’ll shell out the arm and leg for a monster tech office chair

MIn the showcase channel you can find some installations based on Monstertech table mounts, but with an added length to rest on the floor.
FAh, thank you I’ll take a look. I’m guessing they use throw limiters? I figure the throw would bump into the mount itself.
MA table mount just hanging from the desk in the air will flex a lot
Pit'll be the best christmas gift ever! It really is a total game changer for flight sims, especially with helicopters & warbirds due to the trim.
MYes, I use 15 deg limiter without stick extension, and with extension something around 11 deg is recommended
SJust paid for my Rhino and accessories, about 30 units to go. Finally something I am excited for! I really need this to cope with creeping burn out at lifework. Few question. So how long is warranty and how is it covered? Is it easy to maintain and self repair like my super old Warthog and Cougar (have early serial numbers since their release month/year, both still work). Where to download dims so I can start cutting and drilling already to be ready for its arrival?

TMtsims are not made by monster tech
The ultra expensive but also super super nice office chairs come from Mtsims ($800+ for just the chair)

Fmy bad, i thought they were the same. yeah thats the one i was planning on getting. anyone have experience with that center mounted to the mtsim office chair?
TYou may have to search up in the “showcase” or “DIY” sections but we had a nice discussion about those one day when I brought them up as a a joke and sure enough… a couple Rhino owners have them hahaha
They posted pics in the thread but it maybe was awhile ago.
It came up because I was building a custom flight chair and searching for the perfect base (which I ended up building anyway lol)

TSomeone said they have had one for over a year and loved it… actually used it for an office chair.
Someone else said you can get them to custom order and send the removable headrest so it’s easier to swivel using a VR headset…
Honestly at the cost and the reputation they are worth every penny if you can swing it.
Every single review I’ve ever seen is stellar and that’s just unheard of in this day and age

TDepending on your skills you can also DIY.
No matter what best of luck with whatever you decide.
If you wait.. that’s just part of the deal. Everyone who has an official unit had the same (or sometimes a longer) wait.
So think of it like a right of passage.

Fyeah i finally came up in queue after waiting 6 months!
FYou can search through the channels with the "image only" filter to speed up research if you're still doing it
FThat's how I figured out how I wanted to make my gimbal
DHi, I am beginning my proper journey into flight sim, especially helicopters, currently loving the Hype H145 in MSFS, I have lived in an area with a lot of aircraft, especially helicopter activity since childhood, I live very close to what used to be RAF Chivenor in North Devon, and have always wanted to be a pilot from a very early age, but sadly my eyesight prevented me from fulfilling that dream. So the sim is as close as I can get to the real thing.
I have been a sim racer for many years but I have recently found it to become somewhat boring, so I am wanting to spend more time flying than driving. I went on the hunt to see if FFB devices were available for flight sim in a similar way to sim racing, which led me to discovering this community. So hi everyone!
I am keen to learn more about the RHINO. I am currently considering my options for hardware, I currently have the Thurstmaster HOTAS joystick and throttle, while it is OK, I feel it could be a lot better. Currently liking the look of the Virpil range of grips and was wondering if the RHINO was compatible with the Virpril grips?
Thanks

FYeah virpil grips are almost full compatible to RHINO
DThanks for the confirmation
TI thought they were 100% compatible actually.
CI‘m flying helicopters with the Rhino now since a few days! And what I can say is this is just awesome experience. 
I used a TM warthog with a 40cm extension held in place after moving via steering dampers. This was fine as a workaround. Finally I went for Rhino and this is so much better. Force Trim with FFB is excellent!!!

BThe only difference between virpil extensions and thrustmaster ones is the virpil have loose connections with a bit of extra cables so you can rotate the grip as needed...
RHey group, I have a question. I got Brunner MkII FFB pedals to go along with my FFB stick, however I just read on Reddit that DCS doesn’t support two FFB devices. Is that true? I can’t find any other reference to this info, and figured this group would know for sure.
Aprobably not, I don't think any sim has native support for ffb pedals
Athey will need to run off special software, possibly making use of telemetry
Rsigh The fact that the Apache module has a “FFB friendly” trim setting listed for both cyclic and pedals led me to think both are supported.
RWell, I found a workaround for now, if anyone else is in the same boat. I put the joystick in DirectX mode so it can take advantage of native integration, and pedals in manufacturer's software mode/disabled centering force. So now they work like a regular set of pedals without springs and with a damper kit.
SOs the motorless crosswind ffb kit a version so u can add a motor of your choice?
SAnd on the preorder for the with motor option it give 2 motors is that random what u get or can u choose?
BI noticed the other day there is an option in the software for Pot#2 Function which is disabled because I assume there is only 1 physical potentiometer on the standard base. Can a 2nd Pot be added though manually?
TThe DIY version does have a second potentiometer beside the Stop switch.
I haven’t finished my build, nor officially gotten started, but I’ve been studying everything.
If you want the second potentiometer I would stress to ASK @walmis about how or if this would affect or possibly Void your limited warranty.
If you are past warranty and would like to attempt to install the 2nd potentiometer?
I would download the specific top plate file from the GitHub and have that printed because it already has the spots for both pots.
Replace your original top plate with the DIY top plate and wire the additional potentiometer.
Not sure why we have two on the DIY so first off I’d just want to ask “why”
Then I’d see if the answer was enough for me to consider the upgrade.
If I was you…. I won’t open an official Rhino while it’s under warranty.
You know the term if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.
Well if your Rhino ain’t broke…

I’m waiting on shipping for the next batch of DIY kits!
I already paid my invoices and got some much needed help from a wonderful friend @MaxVonDayGlow so I’m in that waiting patiently part of the build where you try as hard as you can to not stare at the mailbox
Hahaha

MI'm very interested if you don't mind sharing your experience (and pics?) of your setup with the Rhino as a side stick?
How do you handle the range of movement/strength in this setup?
How do you handle the range of movement/strength in this setup?
CI'll try and remember to get it set up and take pictures. I have it mounted to a monstertech desk mount and basically just position my chair where it sits right there in front of my arm rest. Makes it comfortable and super easy to maneuver. I also have a throw limiter to stop the forward travel. Otherwise in a crash in Il2 my vkb grips trigger hits the mount.
H@Col. Sanders did you have to extend the aluminium profile all the way down to the floor? Hopefully receiving my rhino soon and I have the monster tech table mount. Curious to see if it can hold it. Got a virp cm2, 20mm gooseneck extension and virpil grip right now. Probably half the weight of the rhino.
HAlso I didn’t order a throw limiter. Wondering if that is a bad idea now …
CNope just the long version. It vibrates me whole desk but stays rock solid for me. I do not use an extension as it sits perfect for side mount height for me.
TI believe the 3D printed ones from the kit will work with the official unit.
I’d ask someone who has one or just tag @protomaker or @walmis

HNice. I might add something between the table and clamp for some extra rigidity. Planning to place it in a central position. Should work - and I might order a longer profile as well to just plunge it into the floor as well as table. I have to move it around some due to kids playing other games.
TThat’s me and why I use a super warthog wheel stand.
When I get to fly I take over the kids rec room and just push the stand right up to the TV but that’s also why I like my stuff to be solid but removable (wing nuts are your friend)

HI might see if my virp gooseneck is viable though. If I mount almost at ground level. Not sure the extension is needed though. Seems the throw is great by default.
TPrint some limiters and use the extension with floor mounted
